I am hoping someone out there can help me out...we are in cancun right now staying at the hotel zone. on dec 24th, we need to meet friends arriving in cozumel international pier at 11:30am aboard the celebrity millenium.

we like to meet them in cozumel for the afternoon. we plan on taking the ADO bus from downtown cancun to playa del carmen and from there take the ferry over to cozumel. i hope this is the correct routing for us?

from the ferry we need to get over to the international pier....is it walkable and if so, how long is the walk?

and if we decide to take a cab, how much would it be?

in addition, does anyone know the last few ferry times from cozumel back to playa del carmen so we can take the ADO bus back to cancun?we don't want to take the very last ferry just in case but was hoping we leave cozumel around 7pm or so?

has the Millenium docking at 930 on the 15th so I will use that as my guide.

The 900 AM PDC ferry would get you arriving at (after taxi ride on Cozumel) the International pier around 1000 AM. If that is fine, great. Otherwise the 800 AM ferry from PDC allows you to eat breakfast in Cozumel.

You want to be at the ADO bus station in PDC by about 730 AM (first timer timing plus contingency padding) to catch the 800 AM ferry so you need to depart the Cancun bus station around 610 AM. Looks like the 615 AM bus (1 hour 20 minute drive time) is perfect but I would plan on the previous bus around 600 AM from Cancun.

Co pilot 54...you are amazing man! thank you....their cruise boat on the 24th arrives at 11:30am into cozumel so do you think i should take the 8am ADO bus from cancun to playa which arrives arond 9:20am. from there i take the 10am ferry over to cozumel which arrives around 10:40am. then walk from the ferry dock to international pier and get there by 11:30am?

RobertSDF...thanks for the tip on Palancar beach but it doesn't seem to have lounge chairs. do you know of a beach/resort for day use that is very nice with lounge chairs so we can sun on the beach as well as order food and drinks in cozumel? if so, would we need to take a cab there?
